CoolAMQP

A Python client for RabbitMQ

Why CoolAMQP?

• it supports all types of exchanges
• it works on Python 2 and on Windows
• tested against all versions of RabbitMQ 3.x and RabbitMQ 4.0
• AMQP 0.9.1 client that's native Python
• heavily optimized for speed
• geared towards interfacing with RabbitMQ
  • supports custom RabbitMQ commands, such as
    • Connection blocking
    • Publisher confirms
    • Negative Acknowledgements
• traceable using opentracing
• code coverage is 81% at the moment
• full support for streams
• 120 second stress tests are part of each release

Warning!! Since v1.3.1 development has been moved from GitHub to this GitLab. To install CoolAMQP please use

pip install coolamqp

Documentation (WIP) is available at our site.

CoolAMQP uses semantic versioning 2.0.

tl;dr - this is machine-generated compile-time. this generates classes run-time, and there are memoryviews everywhere.

This is borderline absurd.

The project is actively maintained and used in a commercial project. Tests can run either on Vagrant (Vagrantfile attached) or Travis CI, and run against RabbitMQ.

CoolAMQP won't touch your messages. It's your bags o'bytes, and your properties.

Enjoy!

Watch out for memoryviews! They're here to stay.

Notes

Assertions are sprinkled throughout the code. You may wish to run with optimizations enabled if you need every CPU cycle you can get.

Note that if you define the environment variable of COOLAMQP_FORCE_SELECT_LISTENER, CoolAMQP will use select-based networking instead of epoll based.

Current limitations

• channel flow mechanism is not supported (#11)
• confirm=True is not available if you're not RabbitMQ (#8)

Copyright holder change

Since SMOK sp. z o.o. was incorporated, it inherited all SMOK-related IP of previous operator of the service, DMS Serwis s.c., which continues to operate within it's designated company agreement. From there stems the copyright holder name change.

And because I haven't been paid a penny for this work, I've assumed copyright personally.

What is here

coolamqp

The core module

stress_tests

A series of stress tests to catch any race conditions

tests

A series of unit tests that need an AMQP server listening.

compile_definitions

A tool to generate definitions.py from the AMQP specification XML.

In order to compile the definitions:

• Make sure that you have yapf and requests installed
• then perform:

python -m compile_definitions

and you're all set. The only files modified is definitions.py.

Running unit tests

Unit tests are powered by nose. They require an available AMQP broker. If you host the broker other than localhost, set the env AMQP_HOST to correct value. The default username used is guest, and password is guest.

You can also run unit tests from Docker, if you wish so. To launch the unit test suite:

docker-compose up unittest

To launch the stress test suite

docker-compose up stress_tests
